"I met Brent Bailer as a story board artist and illustrator approximately thirty years ago...I find his new pastels cast a wonderful mood or "atmosphere" reminiscent of Edward Hopper. Make no mistake, it's Brent's world with a surreal twist."

Artist/Painter

"Brent Bailer is an artist with enormous talent. His paintings, especially the pastels, are imbued with vibrant colors. The colors, although intense, leaves one with a feeling of comfort. This artist should go far in the world of art."

"In the nearly 30 years I have known Brent Bailer, I have had great respect for the ease with which he has applied his classic artist’s training as an advertising illustrator. In the last 10 years as Brent’s advertising representative, I have further enjoyed getting to better know the man, as well as the whole artist."

(President, Santa Dontato Studios)

"What I love about many of the most recent pieces, in particular, is the colorful, festive palate Brent uses (to me, very much reminiscent of certain folk art idioms), however applied with a keen graphic sense of composition."
